Commercial Feature: Pepsi - “Better With Meals” (DC)

“We shot on a Scorpio 45’ with a skater scope and a Laowa 12mm to get us over the edge of the piano and really close focus to that Pepsi. The AC pulled, this is crazy, from infinity to like, one inch away from the lens. We were pretty stoked that we got that in one take. Meji and myself both definitely wanted to try to get it in-camera. All those bubbles were shot for real at like 800-900 frames on the Phantom.” - Thomas Revington, cinematographer

Meji Alabi and Thomas Revington on combining a 45’ crane with a 12mm lens on a skater scope for a shot in the Pepsi ad, “Better with Meals”.

“This is probably one of my favorite shots that I’ve done, but coming up with the shot was challenging because everything had to be smoothly choreographed: the light coming on, our waiter walking by and the camera landing at the perfect spot.” - Meji Alabi, director
